General Emulator Discussion / Re: Suggestions

« on: August 25, 2009, 06:42:51 PM »

I have looked at all the weatherscan videos I could find and compared them to the emulator and I've still had a hard time of coming up with suggestions, but here is a compilation of any suggestions I could come up with:

-I think the font for the LAS bulletin is slightly different from what i could tell from the videos of WSL.

-On the "up next" screen, the package that the arrow pointed to was white and any other packages were yellow

-For the "36hr Forecast", (1.) It said a city name at the top instead of saying "National Weather Service"
(2.)I think the font of the forecast was different compared to the official WSL , including the size difference between the yellow text and the white text if that makes any sense (3.) Instead of saying "Saturday" or "Saturday Night", the real WSL just said "Tommorrow" or "Tommorrow Night"

-As for packages I noticed a Golf package and a package called Airport (not similar to "Aviation" currently in the emulator) if those packages could be implemented into the emulator. Here are some photos:

-And this is not a big deal at all but I usually run the emulator in fullscreen (aka 640x480 resolution) and the borders usually are just on one side of the screen so do you think you could make the border could be optional?

Some reason when I run the emulator it gives the the screen to enter a key, I enter my CINE username and the key, and it says the name/key that was entered is invalid. And when I click get my key, I get another error that says Resource not found.

Are you running the june update of the emulator? If not download the zip file and replace the old .exe with the new one. Then try entering your key again. It should say "key is valid and has been stored." When it says "resource not found" i think that means your not connected to CINE. You must be connected to CINE in your internet browser first. If you get "cannot display the webpage" in your internet browser, try refreshing the page repeatedly until CINE comes up. Then the "get your key" problem should be fixed.

I was reading another post and saw something about a satellite weatherscan to go with the emulator. I think thats an excellent idea and its not like you need my help at all but i have the image overlays for all of the regions that I scaled down to 640 x 480 if you wanted them. I didnt include "At a Glance" but I can do those too if you want. Here's a link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2mzzxnmzdvn/WxScan%20Satellite.zip (I also inculed a txt file of how I think it works)

Edit: Sorry the images were transparent before. I dont know how they lost their transparancy.

Not a very good selection.
I really like Weatherscan's unknown production songs, though they need to throw in more Trammell in there, especially the tracks on CD1 that were used back in the XL days.

I've been trying to "remix" some of the production songs added in 2007 lately. So far I only have one completed, but am working on some of my other favorite ones.

So back in the XL Days the playlist consisted of all Trammell songs (correct me if i'm wrong), but i was wondering did they use all of Trammells 3-CD set or just CD 1?

I mean the radar in your video that appears around 1:50. I was asking if that one had been replaced.

That is an old version of the radar that used to be on weather.com's Gold site. It was replaced awhile back with the new Virtual Earth-based radar that you see now. We don't have control over that, it was replaced by TWC.

What about the satellite radar with no overlay? Has that one been replaced as well?

I agree with tuez13 on that suggestion, but I also have a few small suggestions myself:

~I think it would be nice if the radars were changed to make them look more similar to the ones they used on wxscan
~If its not a lot of trouble, an option to go fullscreen would be cool (something like right-click|fullscreen )
~I also think it would be cool if you could put the actual voiceovers in, (not to say whoevers voice that was in there was bad ), but I did manage to get my hands on a good quality version of the second voicever (The forecast for your area) if you wanted it, and maybe if you or someone else could find the first one (Your current condtions) and put them in, then that would be awesomel!

Other than that I think the emulator is excellent!!

I was was watching a video posted by Brian on youtube of an early version of the emualator and I think all of the radars in that video were almost exactly like the ones in the real wxscan, so I think maybe an option to choose between the radars that are currently in the emulator and the radars that were in the video would be nice.

Btw this is the video I was talking about:

Local Forecast / Question about all WeatherSTAR's

« on: July 04, 2009, 09:49:25 AM »

Ok, I know there's WeatherSTAR's I, II, III (3000), 4000, and XL but where does the jr. fall in? Is it just another name for one of the stars or is it in it's own category?
